Mineral makeup usually comes in loose powder form. A few companies have delved into making pressed powders and liquid foundation for those people turned off by messy loose pigments. MAD Minerals is one of those making liquid mineral foundation.

![Book Report: Teenage Girls Are Seeing <i>Red</i> [Teen Scene]](http://citypeoplefashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/71046.jpg)
Last night, there was a reading and party for Red, a collection of essays by teenage girls. So what exactly is going on with teenage girls today? They’re pissed! Basically nothing’s changed, ’cause we were some angst-y ass teens. One girl read her essay on dealing with the maintenance of her Jewish hair. Another read about how she got into cutting. But our favorite was the girl who read last. (In the photo gallery she’s the blonde wearing an orange turtleneck tunic.) She was very passionate in speaking out to her “sisters” — she memorized her chapter, rather than reading it out of the book — talking about international politics, rape in Sudan, the importance of being extraordinary and believing in yourself. She was 13. I went up to her after the reading was over and asked her what her deal was. She’s an actress, who is home-schooled. I asked her if she would consider herself a feminist and she said, “No, I just want to help out women.” Gallery below.

I’m busy in the most hellish of ways these days but Saturday will see hairdressers showcasing fashion and art in East London in a weird but hopefully wicked amalgamated event, that I’m definitely hopping along to. Hair and Jerome. a decadent and avant garde hairdressers in Spitalfields is collaborating with artist Elie Menard for this variety event to raise money for Association Pas Seuls, which helps those that are living with a disability.
Along with the art, the extravagant airs of Hair & Jerome (I’m seriously contemplating one of the do’s below from H&J’s avant garde collection…), designers Cross & Spot and Ivana K will also be showing their SS08 collection as part of the event.

I’m just sticking my head in for a minute to give you guys an awesome homemade foot scrub. My feet are embarrassingly dry and scaly around this time of the year. So I started experimenting and came up with this fantastic scrub to slough off some dead skin. Throw some raw almonds in the food processor until they are ground well but still a little chunky. Mix that with some Sweet Almond Oil until it reaches the desired consistency(think clumpy oatmeal). Massage it into your feet and wash off in the shower. Then pour yourself a glass of wine and relax. It will leave your feet feeling soft and smelling like an Almond Roca. Happy pampering!

![Palm Oil Free [Pretty by Nature]](http://citypeoplefashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/70277.jpg)
So today on Smartplanet there is an article about LUSH rolling out a new initiative. They plan to change the formula of their soaps to eliminate the use of palm oil. The first offering is their Greenwash Soap. As if we needed another reason to love LUSH.
I can’t wait to try it. Who am I kidding, I was just looking for an excuse to take another trip to LUSH. It’s a nice step and I do think it sends a message. It really is a double edged sword though. I mean palm oil in and of itself isn’t terrible but it’s the way most of it is produced is the problem. Wasn’t life so much easier before you had to worry about if your soap could cause cancer or not?

Back in September, I was suddenly very determined to find a casual white coat to have fun with because I was bored of my other coats, which were all black. (Also I’m guessing it was a photo of Ashley Olsen in a white coat from around four years ago that triggered this sudden ‘want’. Kind of strange right?)
When it comes to shopping under time constraint, I do target-shopping. Which meant that I headed straight to Zara, where I know would have somewhat stylish, basic and very affordable coats. Zara didn’t let me down and I ended up buying this:
OK, so I have recently seen a LOT of girls in the streets here in London wearing basic coats from Zara, either exactly this one or similar ones. But since I get cold easily, I have already started wearing this in late September, so almost no one was wearing it yet. Oh, and I know the coat looks really not-pretty like that, but it looks really cool with the collar up and the top part wide open (the lapel part.)

If you tell me you’re not enthralled with this JS Botique Beaded Mesh Dress in red then I know you’re lying, heh. Isn’t it gorgeous? Oh and guess what, it’s on ale for only $43.90. it used to be $148. I KNOW. I love you too.
Available sizes are 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24. The v-neckline that flows toward the gathered bodice is so flattering. The tiny details of beads below the bust and the fact that it’s red pretty much took care of the FLIRT factor. Perfect for a Holiday Dress. So if you wear the aforementioned sizes, fret no more and look fabulous this Holiday wearing a JS Botique Beaded Mesh Dress. *whistles*
